Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Today when starting my 2004 Yukon, the information center displayed the messages: stability control disabled , engine power reduced . And the vehicle would not go over 20 MPH on a level surface and barely 3 MPH up a moderately steep hill. I had to pull over on route 80, drive on the shoulder and thankfully made it to a dealer. I've heard of so many Gmc vehicles having this same issue. We need a solution before someone gets killed!”
NHTSA complaint #10502720, filed 2013-03, 98,368 miles“Days after purchasing the vehicle, the check engine light came on, the vehicle powered down taking the speed from 35mph or above to 5-10 miles MPH with out warning. This continuously happened as years passed and GM certified repair shop never found what's wrong. Until about two years ago, I googled issue and found its related to accelerator pedal and wiring from pedal that leads to engine throttle control, I changed throttle control plug to new and replaced accelerator pedal with used part and worked fine for two years but has now started failing again. …”
